Lost in thought, not always a good place for me.

That unhealthy blend of memories and emotions, creating obsessions of “never

and always”, driving my attitudes and behavior.

Let me grow in self-awareness, “here I go again”.

Let those memories and emotions be spoken and released, again if necessary.

Let me be grateful that there is no “my way” in this world, there is only this world,

and I get to be here.

My presence is temporary and not guaranteed.

Let me give up my desire for more.

Let my mind return to present, allowing space for dreams and imagination,

appreciation and adventure, risk and calm.

The trees look beautiful today, undisturbed by this years floods or last years drought,

Untroubled by events to come. All is well.
